Flash Pack: Best for friendships through solo travel

Flash Pack takes a slightly different approach to the other companies in this guide. Its adventures aren’t exclusively for women, but they are created specifically for people traveling solo, making them a natural fit for single women and women who simply want to experience a destination alone.

Groups are organized by life stage, with dedicated adventures for guests aged 30-49 and 50-65. According to Flash Pack, 90% of guests arrive solo, while group sizes are capped at 16. Trips are around 60% women and the company is female co-founded, by CEO Radha Vyas.

The Travel Experience

Flash Pack specializes in elevated, experience-led adventures that combine boutique hotels, expert local Pack Leaders and unique access to any given destination. Itineraries typically balance standout food and culture moments and outdoor pursuits with distinctive experiences that can be difficult to organize alone. Much of the logistical detail is taken care of before departure, so guests can simply rock up and enjoy.

The Group Experience

The social side of the trip is deliberately considered as part of the overall Flash Pack experience. Guests book alone and join a small group of people at a broadly similar stage of life, with shared activities and meals creating natural opportunities to get to know one another. For women who want the independence of booking alone alongside a sociable group setting, it’s a particularly appealing combination.

Trip Highlights

  • Learn the secrets of ramen making and experience sumo wrestling in Japan
  • Rappel beside waterfalls and go white-water rafting through Costa Rica
  • Discover Marrakech by sidecar before hiking into the Atlas Mountains
  • Spend the night at a desert camp and dine beneath the Moroccan stars

Who Is This Best For?

Flash Pack is well suited to single women who like the idea of a mixed-gender social group, thoughtfully curated accommodation and original, wow-worthy experiences built into the itinerary. Its age-specific departures are particularly appealing for solo travelers who want to meet other people at a comparable life stage while retaining the confidence and independence that comes with booking a trip for themselves.

Wild Women Expeditions: Best for remote adventures

Wild Women Expeditions has specialized in women-only small-group adventure for more than 35 years. Its collection is firmly rooted in the outdoors, with itineraries spanning hiking, horseback riding, wildlife encounters and expedition-style travel.

The Travel Experience

Adventure is central to the Wild Women Expeditions approach. Trips are designed to immerse participants in natural landscapes, whether that’s on foot, horseback or aboard a small expedition vessel.

The Group Experience

Departures are women-only and operate in small groups, with many participants arriving on their own. Shared-room matching is available for women booking alone, while the combination of guided activities, time outdoors and communal experiences creates plenty of opportunities for group members to connect over the course of a trip.

Trip Highlights

  • Hike through dramatic wilderness and mountain landscapes
  • Head into the African bush on a women-only safari
  • Discover the landscapes and cultures of Morocco and Egypt

Why choose tours for single women?

Traveling alone offers an unusual kind of freedom. You can choose the destination that genuinely interests you, travel on dates that work for your schedule and stop relying on somebody else’s annual leave, budget or enthusiasm before finally booking.

A small-group trip adds structure and expertise without taking away that sense of independence. Accommodation, transport and much of the itinerary are organized in advance, while guides and local experts provide insight that can be difficult to access when planning alone. Crucially, there is also a group to share the experience with – from fun dinners to ambitious hikes and the quieter moments in between.

Women-only trips offer a further choice. Some guests value the particular atmosphere of an all-female group, while others appreciate itineraries developed specifically with women traveling alone in mind. Mixed-gender solo travel groups provide a different dynamic, bringing together people who share the experience of arriving solo.

Who is this guide for?

This guide is designed for women who want to travel alone without having to experience an entire trip alone.

That might include single women, women whose partners don’t share their passion for travel, or guests whose friends and family simply can’t make the same destination and dates work. It is equally relevant to seasoned solo travelers and those considering their first independent booking.

We’ve intentionally included both mixed-gender and women-only options, giving guests the opportunity to consider which group setting, travel style and level of activity best matches the experience they’re looking for.

How we chose this guide

We focused on established small-group travel companies that make independent booking feel like a natural part of the experience and provide a clear social framework once guests arrive.

Flash Pack is the only company included here that isn’t exclusively for women. Its place in the guide reflects its specific focus on solo travel, with 90% of guests traveling alone and age-specific groups designed to bring together people at a similar life stage.

Wild Women Expeditions, SoFe Travel and AdventureWomen all specialize in travel for women. Across the four companies, we considered group dynamics, destination choice, style of accommodation and experiences, activity levels and how effectively each operator caters to participants arriving on their own.

FAQs

Flash Pack offers premium mixed-gender adventures specifically for solo guests, while Wild Women Expeditions, SoFe Travel and AdventureWomen specialize in women-only travel. Their respective focuses range from outdoor expeditions and active adventures to culturally immersive journeys.

Do I need to be single to join a trip for single women?

Absolutely not. In this context, “single” generally describes traveling without a companion, rather than someone’s relationship status.

Are there vacations specifically for solo female travelers?

Yes. SoFe Travel, AdventureWomen and Wild Women Expeditions all offer women-only small-group adventures, and many guests join alone. Flash Pack isn’t exclusively for women (it’s 60% women), but its trips are specifically designed for people traveling solo.

Are group tours suitable for first-time solo female travelers?

They can provide a useful introduction to independent travel because many of the practical details are organized in advance. Accommodation, transport and scheduled experiences are typically taken care of, while traveling with a small group means there are people to share meals, activities and experiences with from the beginning of the trip.

Are solo female group tours only for younger women?

No. Age profiles vary considerably between companies. Flash Pack offers dedicated groups for guests aged 30-49 and 50-65, while AdventureWomen welcomes women across a broad age range and says its average guest is around 45-70.

Will everyone else on my trip be traveling solo?

Not necessarily. This varies between operators and departures. Flash Pack says 90% of its guests travel solo, while Wild Women Expeditions says most women join alone. Depending on the company, friends, sisters, couples and other companions may also travel together.

Will I have to pay a single supplement?

Room arrangements and pricing policies vary between companies and individual departures. Some operators provide roommate matching for solo guests, while others offer private rooms for an additional charge. It’s worth checking the accommodation arrangements for your specific departure before booking.

What should I look for in a tour for single women?

Consider the full experience as well as the destination. Typical group size, age profile, room arrangements, activity level, accommodation style and whether a departure is women-only or mixed-gender can all shape the feel of a trip. Looking closely at these details will help you find a group environment that complements the way you like to travel.
